Socialism explained at its best...

Hi Folks,

 

This is an Awesome read. effects of socialism explained in the simplest way possible. Not my personal views though.

Just for your understanding though…

 

CheersJ

Sree…


As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."  This man is truly a genius!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

Against all odds - Just be normal...

Against all odds


Chilling ruthless winter of Pilani. 2 degree centigrade. 

I want something. I want something very badly.


I'm with my friends. Good friends - A,B at Connaught place inside the campus.


I: Friends, I want to go ahead. Please don't stop me.


A: No you can't. Are you insane?

B: C'mon man, just stop it. Don't be mad. (And then the same question - ) Are you insane?

I: No, I'm not, but I just can't stop myself.


A: What's wrong with you? Why can't you behave like you know.... normal?

B: Yea... this guy is gone nuts. Dude, don't be stupid for heaven’s sake.

I: I'm not being stupid. It's as simple as I want something very badly and I want to get it. If not, I don't know what will happen to me. I can't resist myself.


A: But dude, look around. There are people. What will they think of you? This is just not done.


I: I can't resist the temptation. I'm too tempted.


B: Oh boy, I never thought you had such intentions tonight. If I had known this before, I would have never come with you. What a shame for me !! I want to save my face. I just want to get back to my room. 


A: Chi chi... you have no control over yourself at all. God save you. I'm out of here as well. Let's go, leave this cracko here. Let him do what he wants to do.


I: But guys, why don't you too join. We can have fun together.


A: Just shut up, will you? At least do it with presence of mind. You know what i mean. 

B: Do you have enough money?

I: Don't you worry. I will see you later.


A and B: We don’t want to see you any more. Bye.


I walked towards the end of the road, a 100 m walk. It sent shivers down my spine. At the same time, there was this feeling of excitement of being the first one to actually DO it.


I asked "HOW MUCH" ? (without any fear)


10 Rs, came the answer. Which flavor do you want sir? Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate....

Chocolate I said and gave him 10 Rs.

Yes, I had Chocolate ice-cream in the month of December in Pilani. 

Mission Accomplished !!
